Justin Fields finally got an answer to the future of his career. There was no shortage of interest in the 25-year-old signal-caller, with at least four other teams having inquired with the Bears about a potential Fields trade.
On Saturday, news broke that the Chicago Bears had traded Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a conditional 6th-round pick, which could potentially become a fourth-rounder.
We actually were aware of this information on X if we had just believed one user on the site.
Back in September 2023, X user @SteelersMafiaaa took to the site and stated that Caleb Williams would end up being on the Chicago Bears and Justin Fields would get traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a fourth-round pick. Even though it was technically a sixth, the pick can turn into a fourth.
Now here we are and the Chicago Bears are getting set to take Caleb Williams with the first overall pick after trading Fields to Pittsburgh.
It doesn’t get more insane than that.

Justin Fields’ status in Chicago had been in doubt since the middle of the 2023 season when rumors started to circulate about the Bears’ long-term plans for him.
With Patience, Justin Fields Could End Up Being The Unquestioned Starter In Pittsburgh
In Pittsburgh, Fields will join forces with nine-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson, who was signed this week just before the Steelers traded former starter Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Wilson is penned as Pittsburgh’s starter with Fields serving as his backup, according to ESPN.com.
Justin Fields is entering the final year of his rookie contract and has a cap hit of just $3.2 million. With patience, the team might decide to bring him back and he can truly get a fresh start as the unquestioned starter for the team.
